We were a little apprehensive when we encountered New King, because unlike so many other restaurants in Chinatown, this one actually looks stylish with light coloured wood panelling, red banners of Asian comic book characters eating food and dark brown wallpaper that looks like snakeskin. Thankfully, this wasn’t a case of interior design prevailing over substance. The Mandarin and Indonesian cuisine is delicious and the prices are surprisingly reasonable, too! Order whole fish, steaming bowls of seafood, crispy duck and pork, dim sum and some more exotic dishes like frog legs. Cocktails and a decent wine list are also available.
